I was reminded this week how some performance issues, like being nervous, SEEM like they’re a mental game issue when they’re actually mostly physical. And it’s helpful to be clear about the difference because it makes the problems a lot easier to deal with effectively. Anyway, let me know if this one rings true for you…

Enjoy!

Rory McIlroy had an epic final round at the Masters last week to break his 11-year drought of winning a major and finally complete his lifetime grand slam. It was a glorious moment for him and the entire golfing world, and really, the entire sporting world, that also contains some great lessons for the rest of us. Enjoy!

Iga Swiatek, the great young tennis player, appears to be struggling a bit in pressure matches so far this year. Tough stretch for her but a great opportunity for the rest of us to talk about pressure in competition and how to keep it from throwing us off our game. If you’ve ever choked under pressure (who hasn’t?), this one’s for you. Enjoy!

Interesting article in the Athletic this week about Scottie Scheffler passing Greg Norman for longest stretch at #1 (though still years away from catching Tiger’s record). More interesting though were the lessons about what it takes to get there—and stay there. Enjoy!

Heard a great story about Celine Dion this week that offers a powerful lesson in peak performance as an athlete. No, seriously. For real. :-) This really is masterclass-level stuff. Whether you like her music or not, you should definitely check out this episode. Enjoy!
